I remember this was my first ever Model Railway VHS tape in December 2002. I remember that Christmas Day very well. Father Christmas got me a 8x4ft baseboard along with this VHS tape, some track, building kits, some model scenery items. A few days later when the shops were open again, my dad took me to a model shop he'd read about and got me some more model railway stuff to start my first layout. This VHS was my only source on learning how to make a model railway.

This one went to VHS
The guy building the tabletop is my hero. He's an absolute machine, working with an intense focus, all while wearing a dress shirt and tie. I don't know any modelers who dress up for the task.
OMG! There used to be other videos of this like 7 years ago and I think they got taken down, BUT HERE IT IS AGAIN!!! Awesome!
Yes, I always wear a shirt and tie when I'm baseboard building. Then its on with the velvet smoking jacket and little hat with a tassel for running sessions.
Come on now, what a hobbiest does in the privacy of their basement is their own business. haha
Yes indeed! I for one applaud his sartorial elegance. Something that is sadly lacking today. If this video were remade now, no doubt he'd be in tracksuit pants, flip flops and a string vest! @@norbertdx
I haven’t seen this in years!
Excellent intro to the hobby.
My main interest is operating the railway to a sequence table. Since I am alone, timing two trains to an actual timetable running at once with stops and with a third shunting would be a nightmare. So each train, with a designated loco and stock, is run to a set time between stations. One for expresses, one for stopping passenger and one for goods. The aim at the end of the sequence of 14 trains in total is to have all stock and locos back where they started, except where there is a change of locos mid journey when the first loco takes the place of the second. As you say, the sequence can be operated in whole or in part dependent on time available. Of course this takes much (enjoyable but taxing) planning to ensure the correct locos are used for the correct trains. Having some expresses overtaking slow goods/stopping passenger trains can add to the enjoyment and realism.
`Wonderfull to watch as a beginner to the hobby, watch it again soon.
Those videos is great hi give it 5 start rateing trevor
I saw the thumbnail and thought it looked familiar.. and I was right! It's the one in the PECO magazine lol
A very good video - especially the wiring /switching section. Shame the workers look so unhappy ! Have a look at Bob Symes stuff for the more 'personal' touch.....(RIP Bob).
Awesome video and channel. Just subscribed. Happy New Year from NZ
I too always build my model railway wearing a tie...
And a Wallace and Gromit one at that...
I'll have you know that's my dad, and he still has that same tie 😅
@@josephbeard6220 More footage of him is featured on Hornby's Step by Step Guide to Railway Modelling CD.
Really good. Subscribed
This is cool Step by step
amazing 👍🍀💯
at around 51 minutes into this video the man is creating a way to join the 2 baseboards by cutting stuff and soldering stuff.
Would it not have been easier to use a small piece that lays over the joint of the baseboards?
Just a standard size piece that connects the 2 parts of the layout which you can take out when you want to separate the baseboards?
I mean, that would not require any cutting or soldering.
Nice🎉
Is Sundela board to soft and warps?
Very enjoyable video but ruined by too many adverts.
Thats current YT for you, only way to avoid them is premium, or the original dvd
Yeah 😊 I have 6 or more women begging for time to spend with them. Thanks
HORNBY STILL OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY ????
Quote "Not so much a Toy as a precision piece of Engineering" Unquote. Possibly to an ignorant buffoon. But Certainly NOT to a real life Railway Mechanical Engineer, who supervises the reconstruction of real steam locomotives. Hornby may have changed, but they are still MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS BEHIND, their most advanced competitors.
How so ? You may ask !
Well 30 YEARS AGO, the WORLDS four largest & most technically advanced model train ranges. TOMIX, KATO*, MICRO ACE & GREEN MAX, included the following technologies, STILL ALIEN TO HORNBY, and British ranges in General today !!!
1. FRICTIONLESS DRIVE MECHANISMS. Requiring NO lubrication, as the nylon gearing is Teflon coated, and drives a machine polished brass worm drive. Meaning less voltage is required to move, and the mechanism is far smoother.
2. FIVE POLE SKEW ARMATURE MOTORS, WITH DOUBLE FLYWHEEL DRIVES. Obviously extremely responsive, & having a "high run on", meaning the model ALWAYS cruises to a halt !!! So a lot more fun to drive as well !!!
3. CLIP OUT QUICK CLEAN MOTOR BOGIES. (Not on steam outline). Press bogie gently to one side & roll carefully out of chassis. Allowing removal of hair & other foreign objects in seconds.
4. AUTO BUILT IN SELF UNCOUPLING ON LOCOMOTIVES. Requires small magnet beneath the track to actuate.
5. ILLUMINATED ROTATING DESTINATION BLINDS. Simply turn screw under the cab to select any 1 of 6 options !!!
6. REAL LIFE SCALE WORKING COUPLINGS. Fitted as standard on Multiple Unit models, available for other stock.
7. FULL FLEXI-COUPLING. Meaning total abolition of "toy train set" gaps between rolling stock.
8. FUNCTIONING REVERSING GEAR ON STEAM LOCOS. Not found on ANY ranges except Japanese ones.
And in Japan these "High Tech" models are currently still only around 40% of the cost of Hornby. Tokyo Central City area has over 300 Model Railway shops. Indeed even large Supermarkets sell model trains alongside your Sushi !!!!
It should be pointed out here that Hornby is still "SMALL FRY" with a 2023 turnover of around £55 Million, (with £5 Million loss) when compared to the Japanese Giants. TOMIX (Tomy Tec planning Manufacturing & Sales, excluding retail) for example is currently valued at £966 Million Pounds.
*NOTE: KATO, ONLY apply all these extras on their HUGE Japanese outline range. Not on their limited American & European model ranges.
This is Peco not Hornby
I agree it is an amusing statement but forgive me, I'm no expert on economics or demographics but I think you might find there are a considerably larger number of people in Japan who like model railways, compared with the, as you say 'small fry', UK. There simply isn't the amount of sales to drive that level of investment for Hornby and what sales there are, are shrinking all the time.
I'm not defending Hornby in any way, I'm not their biggest fan but with UK modellers already balking at their high prices, imagine how much those models would cost with the inclusion of all the features you describe above.
I would be interested to know if you could suggest a way Hornby, or any other UK manufacturer of model railway kit for that matter, could possibly compete with the quality and specification of East Asian or American manufacturers, match their prices and still make a profit in the UK market?
